INTRODUCTION

in CDT we got to choose what we wanted to make so we had to make a wiki to tell what we wanted to make .


My project

I have chosen a wooden WWII tank.


BUT WHY

because my grandad was in the RAF the second world war i know that he never drove a tank but still he was in the army.


WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE

The canon part should be alowed to move circuler
The tank should be 15cm long 8 cm wide
The canon should be at least 7cm long and 2cm wide.
The paint will be dark green and grey

This is what it should look like when it is done it might take 14 weeks less or more just depends

REASEARCH

Alot of tanks were used in world war 2 to kill lots of enemys in world war 2. So in world war 2 tanks were very usefull and dangerous

Ewan, what do you think your next steps should be?
Remember you can use paper etc to start drawing out plans for your design

Week update

Every week i will post what i have done

On thursday 24th of febuary
We were took round the tools equipment and other stuff and how to use
i started by glueing three bits of wood together and put clamps on each side and screwed the handal until it was tight
Then the body of the tank i only drew an outline of the body and then we had to tidy up next week i will try get a video or a picture and put it up.
Next time i will carve the wheels and the body of the tank with a copping saw and see where i will wok from there






THURSDAY 3RD MARCH

Today we were alowed to just go in and get started
I carved my body of the tank and that took a lot of my block
I also started to cut out my wheels but i only got
between these lines next to it [ ]
about that big.
The skill i learned is patience in work
Next time i plan to finish the wheels and then make a start on the cannon




i also have attached a video i know its now that good but next week will be better.
